On long-term talent our Rating reads 91, top 6% of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 22 Ayari is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 104 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Ayari missed 3 games through injury (shoulder) out of roughly 38 this season. The 29 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Ayari is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
